UPDATE: per this blog post, they've deprecated the OAuth Authorizations API, that support generating personal access tokens.

so now, you'll have to generate it using the web settings page instead.

Original answer:

Calls to OAuth Authorizations API

If you're making OAuth Authorization API calls to manage your OAuth app's authorizations or to create personal access or OAuth tokens like:

curl -u my_username:my_password -X POST "https://api.github.com/authorizations" -d '{"scopes":["public_repo"], "note":"my token", "client_id":"my_client_id", "client_secret":"my_client_secret"}'

Then you must switch to the web application flow to generate access tokens.

I found the solution. With reference to GitHub documentation https://developer.github.com/v3/guides/getting-started/#authentication I got it passed and able to make a python script that can serve my purpose.

Here is what should work (Postman example):

POST https://mycloud.example.com/api/v3/authorizations
{
  "note" : "example-1",
  "scopes" : [
    "repo"
  ]
}
